Hey, i need some help and suggestions with my first ever pc build.
Im a big game and movie buff, so thats why im leaning towards the more expensive
eek 24" screen, because of the price i had to knock down the gfx to the GTS. Im wondering if this good choice for this screen.
After reading a lot about overclocking on this forum, i would like to get the Q6600 to around the 3.6ghz area, do you think the cooling i chose is adequate?
Also i would like to know if everything will be compatible, and also any suggestions on parts to change. (Price is between £1,300-1400)
Thanks in advance!
